thunderbirds_are_go 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2005 I was just checking out some V12 skates, and noticed that the EE and D width skates of the same size had different length steel on them - the EE having the next size up from the D's. Anyone know why that is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cavs019 710 Report post Posted June 10, 2005 Usually the wider a skate is, the longer its cut. Case in point, I would need a 6 in a flexlite, but a 7d in a Vapor XXX / 6.5EE. I'm not saying these actually fit my feet, but in terms of proper length. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thunderbirds_are_go 0 Report post Posted June 10, 2005 I'm pretty sure that an 9EE skate is the same length as a 9D skate, but I know what you're talking about - if you really need an EE you can go up a half size or so in a D as a last resort to get the little bit of extra wdith. However, as I just said, the actual length of a 9D and a 9EE (for example) are the same, but the 9EE has the next steel size up from the 9D, and I'm still wondering why.
